Help with XMP Panels in Adobe BRidge

Question

Hi All
I'm trying to create a XMP Panel for Adobe Bridge, and I'm having a weird problem I'm hoping someone can answer.
The Panel is created, and works, I can change a metadata field and the metadta field gets saved correctly.
However, I need to change one of the metadata fields in code, and although it's changing thee text within the field, when I close the panel it doesn't update the metadata.
Here's a code sippet:
First the form Items:
<fi:XMPFormItem
                              id="ftitle"
                              label="$$$/xmp/sdk/custompanels/Dave3/Title=Document Title:"
                              labelTooltip="$$$/xmp/sdk/custompanels/Dave3/TitleToolTip=The title of the document, or the name given to the resource. Typically, it will be a name by which the resource is formally known.">
  <fi:XMPTextInput id="docTitle"
                                                             xmpPath="dc:title"
                                                             xmpType="Localized"
                                                             change="changeMe(event)"/>
  </fi:XMPFormItem>
  <mx:FormItem label="Change Title">
                    <mx:Button label="Digital"
                                           click="updateTitle(url.text)"
                                           />
  </mx:FormItem>
And here's the function that changes the text:
                              private function updateTitle(url: String):void
                                        var st: String = "Hello Folks";
                                        docTitle.text = st;
                                        docTitle.enabled = true;
As expected, the text in the docTitle field changes, but when I close the FIleInfo panel the changed text is not written to the file.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance
David

Hi Gary:
Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion, but alas, things got wacky.
When selected, the first panel text overflowed on top of the second accordian tab.
When I select the second panel, the first stays open, as well as the 2nd.
And the text for the next 4 accordian tabs gets out of wack -- they line up on the right hand of the accordian field, with multiple line breaks, rather than in a single line below each tab.
I noticed that overflow:hidden; shows up in two places in the Accordian css file. Tried deleting one, deleting both. but still "no go".
I feel I need to apologize to the forum. I wish I had a better handle on code. But I am actively trying to learn. Reading my book (and doing the exercises) for about an hour a day. And asking lots of questions. I hope it's OK to post these kinds of questions here, even though I'm not very advanced.
I really do appreciate your patience! Jami
